I read elsewhere it's because he said that he felt that the rest of the defence were too interested in attacking and he's left isolated. The other three defenders in his side (Dubao, Lei and Fan) all play for the Chinese National Team, so he's basically slagging them off. Such things aren't accepted in the People's Republic.
Think Ferguson could be on his way to Palace although there was a rumour the other day we were trying to muscle in. Aarons has always seemed our top target though, I just hope we don’t leave it too late, miss out on others only to mess up getting him too.
That young West Ham right back that we've been linked with is definitely leaving them: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/53178138 I wonder if he's already been tapped up?
It'll probably be Liverpool, then. Terence Trent D'arby has their right-back role sewed up, but he's been overplayed horribly. They've basically used out of position players to rarely cover their fullbacks and it's an obvious squad weakness. Bringing in a good youngster for pennies as cover and competition makes perfect sense and he'll get games, too.
Weirdly we're being linked with Kane Vincent-Young, formerly of our academy and currently at Ipswich My immediate thought is that this is to bump up the CG quota, because even though we released him when he was 19, he was at the club long enough to qualify as CG

RB Watch Atalanta right back (duh...) and all-round Belgian Timothy Castagne has said the following in an interview "When a team like PSG or Tottenham come knocking on your door, you can't say no" One thing worth mentioning is that, even though Castagne began as a RB at Genk, he plays as a wingback in Atalanta's preferred 3421 formation, which sounds uncannily like how we deploy Aurier - although he's just as adept at playing as a LWB Okay, two things worth mentioning: he's got a year left on his contract, so maybe we should put his theory to the test...

Dear Jamie Redknapp, We sacked your Dad after he spent 6 months dicking us around cos he wanted the England Job even though we supported him through his court case. You have acted like a bitter twat since that happened over 8 years ago even though you were a grown arsed adult with kids. 7 months ago we sacked Maurizio Pochettino's father, who did not dick us over cos things weren't working. This young man has not been filled with bitterness or bile towards our club. Maybe you should take a leaf out of his book and stop acting the twat. If you had learned this lesson earlier in life you might still be married. Yours Claire Raynor
He’s a pacy winger. I think Ali Gold has seen a bit of him if you want to search for it, can’t remember where but I heard him talking about seeing him play a youth game with Troy Parrott a while back.
Bit of both I’d imagine. Once Jose’s done the domestic treble and taken a dump on the Emirates pitch, Poch will come back and secure the CL and multiple league titles for years to come. Trust me, I’m a psychic. Or was a it a psycho? Gonna have to check with my shrink.
Spurs on Twitter been doing a fair bit of Dier propaganda today. Could be wrong but wouldn’t be completely surprised if a new contract for him is announced in the coming days. In actual transfer news, some reports claiming we want to sign Real’s Lucas Vasquez for £15m, decent player but I’m pretty sure we’re okay for wingers at the moment. Others reports claiming we’re after Sevilla’s CB, Diego Carlos. And other reports saying we’re after Lille’s CB, Gabriel Magalhaes. Oh, and yet more other reports are saying we’re looking to re-sign Marcus Edwards who we have a 50% sell on clause for (see my comment about Vasquez though...). Whoever we are definitely after though, I really hope the club gets stuff done early (as in now!). Let Jose know what he’s working with on the first day of pre-season. It was something we ****ed Poch (and others) about with for so long, about time we learn our lesson and give our manager adequate time with his signings and squad.
